Aim. To study the influence of type of behavioral activity on the development of cardiovascular diseases, to evaluate the effect of type of behavior on the frequency of repeated hospitalizations and fatal outcomes after acute coronary syndrome. Materials and methods. The study included 100 patients with acute coronary syndrome who were subsequently divided into groups according to the main disease - acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. The median age was 62.09±5.46 years, the therapy according to the underlying disease. All patients had anamnesis of previous and concomitant diseases, anthropometric measurements, physical examination, and observation during the next 24 months after inclusion in the study. In dynamics he carried out daily monitoring of electrocardiogramm, daily monitoring of blood pressure, echocardiography. Diagnosis of types of behavioral activity was carried out using the test method "type of behavioral activity" developed on the basis of the questionnaire Jenkins Activity Survey, published in 1974 by C. Jenkins, the Russian-language adaptation was performed in NIPNI Bekhtereva (L.I. Wasserman, N.V. Gumenyuk). Results. In patients with behavioral activity type A more frequent occurrence of diseases such as angina, hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, acute violation of cerebral circulation, type 2 diabetes than in persons with behavior type AB and B. Repeated hospitalizations for unstable blood pressure and unstable angina on the background of standard therapy in patients with type a behavior occur more often than in patients with type AB and B.

Hypoglycemia is a well-known factor, limiting the patient's ability to achieve adequate glycemic control, and capable of causing a number of car-diovascular diseases (CVDs). Recurrent hypoglycemia may result in severe, potentially fatal complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), the impaired hypoglycemia awareness, raising the risk of severe hypoglycemia up up to six times. Measuring blood glucose levels is a universally accepted com-ponent of glycemic control and one of the strategies for prevention of hypoglycemia, along with the structured patient education in DM manage-ment and the use of modern hypoglycemic medications. Prevention of severe hypoglycemia may be important for prevention of CVDs in patients with DM.
